Gu Huan soon received a reply from the military.
However, the result was completely different from what he had imagined. Although the position of legion commander was handed over to Keppel on an acting basis, he was not allowed to resign. Instead, he was given a three-month vacation in the hope that he would change his mind.
Gu Huan has already made up his mind to leave. Resigning or taking a vacation doesn't matter to him. It can only be said that such a result forces him to consider more complicated ways to escape the story.
Just as he was about to plan his escape, the tiny butterfly flapped its wings.
... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ..
The first military academy, the top military academy.
On the day before the military training, the freshmen who were registering received another computer message.
"From the moment I enter the military academy, I am willing to accept all training and obey the orders of my superiors, regardless of life or death. Do I need to swear an oath for such a thing? Of course it is necessary."
"This is so cool. I'll even record a video as proof."
“Hahahahaha, this is really fun.”
"Do you know who the chief instructor is this time?"
"Gu Huan, nine out of ten military academies say the same thing, but don't even think about which one is the real Gu Huan."
The students of the First Military Academy were dressed in all-white military uniforms. They all looked very energetic. They chattered about the people who might appear at today's freshman ceremony, discussed the beautiful omegas they had their eyes on, and then pretended to be adults and walked into the ceremony venue.
As more and more people sat in the hall, the sound of students whispering to each other gradually died down, and they all stared at the stage intently, their eyes round and bright.
The holographic curtain opens.
The person they were expecting did not show up, and standing there was an old man with a ruddy face - the principal of the First Military Academy, Atley.
His speech was long and boring, like that of an old man who likes to talk more about life. Even his interesting beard could not attract the attention of these naughty children.
As outstanding students and graduates took turns to give speeches on stage, everyone gave up hope that the admiral would show up. Just when everyone was filled with disappointment, someone suddenly exclaimed.
"Everyone! Look outside!"
The lecture hall of the First Military Academy is surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows that are more than ten meters high, so you can see the scenery outside just by turning your head.
They had never seen so many flying ships before!!
The students in the hall were pressed against the glass, head to head, looking out. If it weren't for the special dust removal device on the glass itself, their white school uniforms would have to be used to clean the glass.
The principal, who had just been giving a speech, was already waiting outside at some point.
Countless military mechas were parked outside.
A man walked out from behind the open hatch. His expression was indifferent, and his thin lips were slightly pursed to reveal a hint of blood, but he still looked very pale. The pure black military uniform fit his thin body tightly, making his back straight and his legs long. Although his height was not outstanding among alphas, he made all the other alphas around him look like a foil!
The students opened their mouths wide enough to swallow a pebble and banged on the glass excitedly.
The artificial intelligence kept reminding the students to calm down through a cold mechanical voice, but it was of no use.
"Really, it's true, the media didn't lie to us!"
"It's really the admiral! The admiral is coming!"
The soundproofing system in the hall was indeed quite good. Even though they were making a lot of noise, it was still calm outside.
The principal who came to greet Gu Huan was the first to step forward and shake hands with him.
"Admiral, I'm very happy that you chose our school..."
After the live broadcast of the destruction of the general's mansion was reported, Gu Huan's reputation as the youngest general in history became more and more famous.
An unexpected result leads to a great harvest.
When his popularity was at its peak, it happened to be the peak period for military academy enrollment. Many students applied for military academies on the grounds that they hoped to become General Gu Huan's subordinates. For a time, the enlistment rate was even raised. This phenomenon attracted the attention of military academies in various galaxies.
In order to promote their own schools and attract better students, military academies in various galaxies frantically tried to win over the military, hoping that they would release Gu Huan to be the chief instructor in their schools.
But only their First Military Academy invited Gu Huan. Thinking of this, the principal couldn't help but raise his chin slightly.
Who else could do such a thing? Of course, only their First Military Academy.
"You are very kind."
Gu Huan said in a calm voice, his expression much warmer than usual.
He thought about so much more than the principal's simple happiness.
Everything he is doing now has never happened in the original novel.
In the original text, the explosion at the admiral's house was suppressed by "Gu Huan" himself before it could be reported, so it did not cause such widespread discussion. Of course, he was not invited to the First Military Academy. Even if he was invited, the original owner would not have agreed, because he could not accept such a meaningless and unproductive job, and he had not yet taken his vacation and had no time to come.
But, he agreed.
In order to get away from this story, he had already worked out a route of suspended animation that was very suitable for interstellar escape through Xiao Ling's calculations. However, the interstellar jump function of the spacecraft requires the use of wormholes. The wormhole he has found so far, which is the closest and safest to humans, is near a remote planet.
Without resigning, a military general like the original owner needed the military's approval to travel to any landmark that had not passed security inspection, and could not go out at will. He originally wanted to sneak away to that planet, but he didn't expect... The planet where the First Military Academy went for military training happened to be that remote planet.
If such a reasonable thing was really waiting for him, he would certainly not refuse it.
Principal Atley didn't know what Gu Huan was thinking. He looked at the young talent with a smile on his face and had high expectations for him.
"All the children who applied for the military academy this time are good kids. Let's train them according to the standards of your army."
"... ..."
Before Gu Huan could say anything, Yueyang, who was standing next to Gu Huan, could no longer stand.
What? Train them according to their standards? After the military training, will they still be alive and studying in school? No wonder the general attached something like a life and death statement to their admission letters in advance.
Those stupid kids didn't even know they were being sold and were still laughing foolishly.
Fortunately, he is not a student of the first military academy this year.
Yueyang was silently worried about those students who were still in the excitement stage.
Gu Huan said. "I will."
The principal patted Gu Huan on the shoulder and left Pingdi with great peace of mind.
After the principal left, Gu Huan looked towards the hall and was frightened for a moment.
Is that a zombie virus? The nose and eyes are pressed against the window.
Noticing the admiral looking over here, the students who were clinging to the window with their faces pressed against it immediately lifted their bodies away from the glass, rushed back to their seats and sat neatly. Their movements were so swift that one might suspect a stampede.
"... ..."
Yueyang saw all this and couldn't help but chuckle while standing next to Gu Huan.
Why do these kids look so much like high school students who are secretly looking at the school hunk
Gu Huan turned his head to look at him, and Yueyang immediately restrained his expression and coughed lightly in a serious manner.
Gu Huan did not stay outside the auditorium for long. He directly stepped onto the aircraft prepared for him by the school, flew to the place where the principal had just given a speech, and gave a brief self-introduction.
When he stood on it, he accidentally saw the two protagonists sitting in the first and second rows below.
They may be the only problems that bother him since he came to this school.
The protagonists in the novel happen to be freshmen enrolled in the First Military Academy.
The protagonist in the original novel was a real grassroots. Although he was born in a humble family, he relied on his talent and courage to become the marshal of the empire. Because the crown prince of the empire unfortunately died in the insect tide, in order to live up to the crown prince's instructions, he relied on his personal reputation to become the new emperor of the empire when the royal family was in decline.
However, this man, who was arranged by the author to be in a very happy novel, had just started his love story at this time and was about to meet the future queen at school, the omega sitting behind him. Gu Huan felt that he had not provoked them yet, and he should not be disliked by these two people like in the original text.
But why are these two people staring at me with such a creepy concentration...
Gu Huan was a little confused, but he didn't have time to think about it.
He directly opened the video material he made and began his speech.
The light in the hall dimmed suddenly, and all the spotlights were focused on the black-haired man. The unreal and hazy light and shadow blurred his eyebrows and eyes, making him almost breathtakingly beautiful, as if he himself was radiating light.
"What kind of divine beauty is this..."
The holographic live broadcast is not as good-looking as the real person.
From the moment the admiral began to speak, the students in the audience held their breath, afraid to miss a single syllable. The admiral spoke slowly, and each tone carried his unique cold and aloof texture. When he recounted his past successes and failures, he did not make any expression of sorrow or joy, but instead suppressed a depth that many students had never felt.
A blond man who was monitoring the scene opened a bottle of tequila, leaned back on the sofa, looked at the scene in the hall, and stared at the black-haired man in the holographic picture.
Gu Huan continued his speech without noticing anything.
The experiences he talked about were all processed experiences of the original owner, but he also had his own true feelings. In his previous life, he was reincarnated as a half-elf. Because they were a cursed race, he was hunted by humans or elves every day. In the end, he organized a mercenary group, and the blood he had seen was no less than that of a real general.
But his tone was as cold as ever, without any ups and downs.
"Whether your ending is glorious or becomes a statistic in the mortality rate, it has nothing to do with me."
"but."
"For those of you who are dreaming that you can get a military rank and become an officer after graduating from here, I will never let you survive the military training."
"Garbage should stay where garbage belongs."
"That's all my speech."
Gu Huan stopped talking.
There was still total silence below.
Gu Huan frowned slightly. Was what he said... very bad
Of course not.
After a dead silence, thunderous applause broke out from the venue.
This is a speech that will go down in school history. Who else could use such a calm tone to make every student excited
The slender fingers loosened their grip on the microphone, and the audience lit up. The students in the audience were still not calming down, and the applause was thunderous. The applause did not stop until Yueyang came on stage.
Yueyang touched his head awkwardly. I am also your predecessor and your superior, so why don’t you feel excited when you see me
This is too much discrimination!
Personal worship is unacceptable!!
"Students, do you have any questions? If not, we will board the warship and head to the military training location."
Gu Huan stood there waiting for questions. He saw the protagonist in the first row raised his hand high. Just as he was about to stop Yueyang from calling on the people in the first row, he heard Yueyang call him up.
Gu Huan: “…”
Nie Chuan stood up amid the envy, jealousy and hatred of thousands of people.
"Admiral! I am a big fan of your books, the one who sent you a letter before."
Gu Huan frowned.
The original Gu Huan liked to hear others praise him, so he wrote a lot of autobiographies and published a lot of star fields, but the protagonist of the novel is a fan of the original owner? How come he didn't know about this
“My anonymity is x.”
Anonymous x, Gu Huan suddenly remembered that before he traveled through time, the original owner had indeed received such a letter. The owner of the letter wrote some thoughts on the Zerg problem and his worries about the future. The original Gu Huan was afraid of the Zerg tide itself and refused to admit the possibility of a Zerg tide outbreak, so he replied with a critical letter in harsh terms.
The critical letter was buried under the rubble and later collected by a robot. After it was handed to him, he rewrote a letter of approval and sent it back.
If he replied according to the letter the original owner had sent to the protagonist, Gu Huan suddenly understood why the protagonist hated the original owner so much.
"Yeah." Gu Huan nodded slightly, "I remember you."
Nie Chuan's face suddenly flushed. Everyone around him looked at Nie Chuan with envy. He was actually remembered by the admiral.
He took a deep breath and bowed deeply in the direction of Gu Huan.
"I have no problem. I just want to say that you are the first person who agrees with me. That's why I applied for this military academy for you. I hope that one day, I can also shine under your leadership."
The protagonist is following a villain? Gu Huan seemed to have heard a joke, and couldn't help but slightly raised an invisible arc and said in a light voice. "I wish you success."
The audience had no idea what the people on the stage were thinking. They only saw the general, who had always had a stern face, suddenly couldn't help laughing and raised the corners of his lips slightly. The smile, which was like the beginning of melting ice, made the scene chaotic for a moment.
At the same time, the person on the other end of the video also saw this smile, rubbed his fingers slightly, and pressed the communication button.
The man who was controlling the flying camera metal ball in the corner showed a surprised expression on his face and raised his hand after hearing the order through the special information flow channel.
Because Gu Huan was so popular, he raised his hand several times, but several people took turns but no one called him. Just when he thought he had no hope of being called, he finally waited for the god of luck to descend on him.
Facing the envious gazes of the audience, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
"I've always heard that you have a good relationship with the prince. I wonder what you think about the prince's disappearance?"
Yueyang heard someone asking this question nearby and almost wanted to ask him to sit down.
This is the opening ceremony of the school. It would be fine if they just organized the question-and-answer session like a fan meeting, but why are there still people asking questions that have nothing to do with the general
Although the question was a bit off topic, Gu Huan still answered the other party's question.
"He will be back."
"General Gu is indeed a good friend of the prince. He really trusts him enough."
Chu Xinglin stared at the screen and saw Gu Huan said so confidently that he would come back. He smiled meaningfully and asked his insider at the ceremony to ask a question.
"What do you think of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
Gu Huan pursed his lips and blurted out an answer that had always been in his heart.
“He is hope.”
He didn't lie, it was true that he regarded the prince as hope.
After reading the novel, he knew that if there had not been a steadfast royal family leading the entire galaxy to overcome difficulties during the insect swarm, the results would have been much worse.
But Gu Huan hid the second half of the sentence.
He is also a disaster.
Who made him a cannon fodder now? He is the cannon fodder of the prince. He can't afford to offend him but he can always avoid him. Gu Huan thought.
"hope?"
The tall alpha bit the bottle's mouth with his teeth, leaned back, drank the liquor in the bottle, and licked his lips. Under the starry sky, his short golden hair was on the edge of the half-bright shadow, like a golden lion lurking in the dark, locking his prey with his eyes, suppressing obscurity in his eyes.
"It really looks like that."
"Which planet is he going to?"
"Planet ha654."
